The Banner Saga

The idea for this arrangement began in late November of 2013 when Austin Wintory (the composer) sent me a the YouTube video for his next project: The Banner Saga.
The second I heard the music and saw the game, I knew that I wanted Videri to play an arrangement! Not only does one of the main characters look exactly like my father, but the music is so beautiful! I immediately heard it for string quartet. So, with the help of Austin Wintory and one of our arrangers, David Peacock, we managed to put together an arrangement and record it!!
Hope you like it as much as we do!!!
